Joe Mansman and the Midnight Revival Band - Five Knives

I am the doctor, narcotic saint
I'll trade my forbidden fruit for the crown, bride to be
I am the breach birth i am the weight
I am the serpent king, watch my banner wave

I'm the fire of a thousand tongues, a glorified liar on a stage
Leading a chorus of cynics and critics hell bent on cleaning the stain

Drink and feast of my body, bleed bleed bleed the well dry
Stake your claim and divide what's left
Sink these five knives

I'm a worm in the mouth of a bird
Slight of hand beneath the grey
You could be anything, the words, i'll be the page
I am the seeker, seek ye my face
Oh unbeliever there's a wolf among your ranks

I'm the sight of a million hands lifted high you can read me like a cheap surprise

Drink and feast of my body, bleed bleed bleed the well dry
Stake your claim and divide what's left
Sink these five knives

You scaled the walls, i heard you say
I was born in a storm and raised in a hurricane

I'm the fire of a thousand tongues, a glorified liar on a stage
Leading a chorus of cynics and critics hell bent on cleaning the stain

Drink and feast of my body, bleed bleed bleed the well dry
Stake your claim and divide what's left
Sink these five knives
